No, that'd just pawn off responsibility to some other (unmanned) team. Better to keep the duty with the SRU itself. It's not *that* hard to write literate changelog entries. Just always remember to answer two questions: What was the problem? How does this fix it? And sometimes: Where did the fix come from?
